For me the Reset did certainly not resolve the focus issues on the Today screen 
or how when you swipe left from the top of the Inbox or message list you get 
stuck on the search box etc. I initially did the reset because I have another 
issue on my iPhone 8 where when I tap on any edit field and Voiceover says 
"text field is editing,, characters, insertion mode at start" this text is 
repeated with every letter I press.
Here is an example, let's say I open a message in the Messages app and I want 
to reply to a text. I double tap on the edit field and Voiceover says:
Message, text field is editing, iMessage, characters, insertion mode at start
So I'm now in editing mode, Voiceover tells me it's an iMessage and I know my 
rotor is set to characters and I'm at the start of the field which of course is 
empty at first.
Let's say I want to start with "Hello", so now I type an "H", here is what I 
hear:
Message, text field is editing, H, characters, insertion mode at end.
Then I type the next letter, the "e" in Hello and I hear
Message, text field is editing, He, characters, insertion mode at end.
Now I type the first L and Voiceover says:
Message, text field is editing, Hel, characters, insertion mode at end.
After I type the last letter, the "o" it will say it all over again now 
speaking the entire word Hello in the middle and as soon as I press the space 
it will repeat it again all over and then I start with the next word and so on. 
Even if I accidently type a wrong letter, it will repeat it all when I press 
the delete key, for example, if I had typed an "r" instead of the "e" in Hello 
it would say:
Message, text field is editing, Hr, characters, insertion mode at end.
If I then press delete to get rid of the r it would repeat but again only 
saying H and as you can see this is very annoying. I had initially asked 
Richard if he had noticed anything like that, but since I did also not read 
anything on Applevis about it and apparently nobody elese has the problem, it 
seems to be unique to me. I already sent this to Apple including the screen 
recording I did and they unfortunately also have no idea.
I use the American femal SIRI voice, but I switched to Samantha to see if it 
made a difference and it does not. It seemed at first that it was gone after 
the Reset all settings, but either I tried it in a place where it didn't happen 
or it came back, because now I am getting this in virtually all edit fields.
Interestingly enough this does not happen if I turn on my Bluetooth keyboard 
and type, if I did this in the same Message field where I previously 
experienced this while typing, it would not happen with a Bluetooth keyboard.
It's a very bizar and I fear very difficult item to figure out for Apple. I 
even removed my glass screen protector because I thought maybe it wasn't on 
good any more and there was someweird touch feedback happening.

Sieghard

Hello all, part of what these messages may be speaking to and I could be wrong 
is that I think maybe they’re expecting people to be using Bluetooth keyboards 
and or braille keyboards. And I think that’s a lot to assume. The beauty of the 
device is to be able to not have to have other things hooked up to it and for 
it to be portable. That’s what it means for me at any rate. So when the swiping 
ability deteriorates it’s quite a loss.

Cristóbal, Misery loves company; thanks for yours, I've experienced the 
same grievous issues.  And yes, I will voice my concerns to apple 
plagiarizing a little from what you offered here.



I also experience issues with cursor skipping around along with 
occasional "machine gun" clicking almost like the Voice over cursor is 
having a heavy duty battle with whatever methods are used to highlight 
the screen for sightlings.



In the app store, the swiping will skip past the next item and a 
backward swipe, then forward again hits the desired spot; it's a damn 
lot of scraping and grinding such as I described also in settings.



I can't get to the "clear forms" item neither from swiping back to that 
control or forward to it.



I'll bet that a blind person using chop sticks to gather up peas on a 
plate is less challenging than some of the behaviours of IO 14.01.  I've 
never experienced such a mess since I started with Iphone in 2012.

I have this exact same problem on my XR. Still present in iOS 14.0.1.

Also, if I want to backspace and delete a bunch of characters, what I’ll do is 
double tap and keep one finger on the delete button and split tap with another 
finger as many times as I need with VO announcing each character that’s being 
deleted. I’ve found this at least for me a quick way to batch delete characters 
or a word or two than selecting the text and then deleting or double tapping

Anyway, now when I try doing that in iOS 14, every time I split tap, the cursor 
is placed at the beginning of the edit field and text. This has pretty much 
broken the ability to backspace multiple times via this method.  

Another issue that I don’t think others have mentioned is that now, VO can’t

and the haptic feedback I get on the iPhone is like it’s doing the jitterbug. I

James,

I'm glad resetting all your settings corrected most of your iOS 14 issues. I'll 
caution others from doing that because when Apple Accessibility had me reset my 
settings in connection with an issue I was reporting, not only did doing so not 
affect the issue but all of my custom settings were reset to factory defaults. 
This was such an inconvenience that I attempted to get my settings back by 
restoring an iTunes encrypted backup which failed and hung requiring me to 
restore my iPhone SE 2020 to brand new factory defaults. Fortunately, after 
doing this, I was able to restore my iTunes encrypted backup but I spent about 
12 hours on Saturday messing with the phone.

Earlier today I posted a big list of stuff that was going wrong with voiceover. 
This is on iOS 14 and an iPhone 11 promax. Tonight I reset all settings but did 
not erase all data. The problems went away. I don�t know what it was� What 
setting I had screwed up. Hopefully it does not come back. Hopefully it does 
not come back. To reset all your settings go to General in settings all the way

Re: How I solved most of my voiceover iOS 14 problem how I solved most of my voiceover iOS 3 team problems

2020-09-24 Thread Gerardo Corripio
speaking of voiceover bugs and resetting to default settings, I’ve a 
spanish-speaking blind friend who is a Beta Tester, and way back since Beta2 
when he had VoiceOver issues (specially focus ones), he did a Restore like the 
one you guys are talking about, and bye bye issues!

Hi Sieghard,

I'm not going to argue that resetting one's settings after a full reset can't 
be done but the amount of time involved will be a function of one's memory or 
documentation of custom settings which I suspect few have. I believe I had 
reset most of mine accept for the background wallpaper color which was reset to 
what appeared to be an orange color. I could not figure out how to get the sea 
green color I previously had back. The bigger issue is identifying the benefit 
of resetting all your settings. I know James said it resolved most of his 
issues but it certainly didn't resolve the one I reported to Apple 
Accessibility. And I can't say I was noticing any difference in responsiveness 
of my SE 2020 after the reset so the cost of the reset in my case was a lot 
greater than any benefit received.

Hi Alan,

I don't think people should be that terribly afraid of resetting all settings, 
but of course you have to assume that this does exactly what it says, it will 
reset "all settings" to factory default.
If you actually take a moment to read what it says before youc onfirm, you 
would see this:

This will reset all settings.
No data or media will be deleted.
After you confirm you are furthermore told that it will erase any payment cards 
on file and since passcodes and any Touch Id or Face Id entries are also 
settings they will also be deleted and after the phone reboots there will be no 
passcode, you will have to again set one up and redo your Touch or Face Id 
authentication.

I actually did this also on Sunday and it took me maybe half an hour or 45 
minutes to first of all reconnect to WiFi and rename my phone, then to set up a 
passcode and Touch Id, then to add my two credit cards and to a large extend 
the time was spend going through a bunch of settings like Background App 
Refresh, Keyboards, Privacy/location services etc. and putting them back to 
what I had/wanted. Of course that also included switching my main voice back to 
American female SIRI, adding a German voice and so on.
Apart from that it was not such a big deal and I previously chose to erase all 
settings and content and to start from scratch without restoring from a backup 
and that was truly a lot of work since I basically redownloaded all my apps 
again and set up everything from scratch.
Resetting all settings also reset my ringtone and other sounds to factory 
default, but since I didn't erase all data and content my custom ringtones and 
alert tones were all still there and it took me maybe 5 minutes to set my 
custom tones up again, go into the individual Mail accounts I have to set up 
the tones I want for them etc.

Best regards,
Sieghard

James,

I'm glad resetting all your settings corrected most of your iOS 14 issues. I'll 
caution others from doing that because when Apple Accessibility had me reset my 
settings in connection with an issue I was reporting, not only did doing so not 
affect the issue but all of my custom settings were reset to factory defaults. 
This was such an inconvenience that I attempted to get my settings back by 
restoring an iTunes encrypted backup which failed and hung requiring me to 
restore my iPhone SE 2020 to brand new factory defaults. Fortunately, after 
doing this, I was able to restore my iTunes encrypted backup but I spent about

Earlier today I posted a big list of stuff that was going wrong with voiceover. 
This is on iOS 14 and an iPhone 11 promax. Tonight I reset all settings but did 
not erase all data. The problems went away. I don�t know what it was� What 
setting I had screwed up. Hopefully it does not come back. Hopefully it does

Hi Alan,

I don't think people should be that terribly afraid of resetting all settings, 
but of course you have to assume that this does exactly what it says, it will 
reset "all settings" to factory default.
If you actually take a moment to read what it says before youc onfirm, you 
would see this:

This will reset all settings.
No data or media will be deleted.
After you confirm you are furthermore told that it will erase any payment cards 
on file and since passcodes and any Touch Id or Face Id entries are also 
settings they will also be deleted and after the phone reboots there will be no 
passcode, you will have to again set one up and redo your Touch or Face Id 
authentication.

I actually did this also on Sunday and it took me maybe half an hour or 45 
minutes to first of all reconnect to WiFi and rename my phone, then to set up a 
passcode and Touch Id, then to add my two credit cards and to a large extend 
the time was spend going through a bunch of settings like Background App 
Refresh, Keyboards, Privacy/location services etc. and putting them back to 
what I had/wanted. Of course that also included switching my main voice back to 
American female SIRI, adding a German voice and so on.
Apart from that it was not such a big deal and I previously chose to erase all 
settings and content and to start from scratch without restoring from a backup 
and that was truly a lot of work since I basically redownloaded all my apps 
again and set up everything from scratch.
Resetting all settings also reset my ringtone and other sounds to factory 
default, but since I didn't erase all data and content my custom ringtones and 
alert tones were all still there and it took me maybe 5 minutes to set my 
custom tones up again, go into the individual Mail accounts I have to set up 
the tones I want for them etc.

James,

I'm glad resetting all your settings corrected most of your iOS 14 issues. I'll 
caution others from doing that because when Apple Accessibility had me reset my 
settings in connection with an issue I was reporting, not only did doing so not 
affect the issue but all of my custom settings were reset to factory defaults. 
This was such an inconvenience that I attempted to get my settings back by 
restoring an iTunes encrypted backup which failed and hung requiring me to 
restore my iPhone SE 2020 to brand new factory defaults. Fortunately, after
